It is my great pleasure to Welcome the delegates to the Naval GWar College, and to the CNO’s Seventeenth International SeapoWer Sympo- sium. Last night Was a great kick-off, and I hope to be able to get to know each of you even better during the course of the next few days. In the audience are forty-nine Chiefs of Naval Operations, siX Commandants of Coast Guards, tWenty-seven War College Presidents, and many senior representa- tives from the United States and our most trusted allies and friends. I am particularly pleased to note that nearly 36 of our delegates are alumni of this college, having graduated from our Naval Command College or Naval Staff College. Welcome back to NeWport! You are leaders of the finest navies of the world. Although we have a feW differ- ences in uniform, in language, in culture, We all share the brotherhood of the sea and a set of common bonds that forever link seafarers together: shared experi- ences, mutual respect, honor, and a commitment to Work together for peace. This desire to work together lies at the heart of this Symposium. For over three decades, the leaders of the world’s seafaring nations have gathered on the shores of this historic bay to share ideas, strengthen alliances, and plan for the future. We can all certainly agree that much Water has passed underneath the keel since ISS-1 in the fall of 1969—and that We face significant new challenges. The title of the Symposium is “A Global Network of Nations for a Free and Se- cure Maritime Commons.” ISS-17 is about looking at Ways for maritime forces to participate in voluntary netWorks to increase mutual security in areas that align with individual national interests. We will look at the many ways navies around the world help ensure the peace, promote prosperity, and provide maritime security for their nations, and, together, in coalitions. We are interested in harnessing the power of trust, friendship, and cooperation in Ways that Will benefit us all. I have no doubt that this will be a stimulating, reWarding, and impactful three days. Throughout its history, the ISS has been an intellectual gathering of friends and shipmates. Former U.S. CNO Admiral Arleigh Burke said it best When he noted: “Most important among peoples or among navies or among nations are friends.” It is now my pleasure to introduce your official host for ISS-17: We are very lucky to have the Navy’s Senior Sailor here with us today—Admiral Mike Mullen, the re- cently installed Chief of Naval Operations. Admiral Mullen is a member of the Naval Academy Class of 1968. He is proud to call himself a sailor, and he greW up at sea, matured at sea, and led at sea at all lev- els. He has commanded three ships: the replenishment ship USS Noxubee, the guided missile destroyer USS Goldsborough, and the Aegis cruiser USS Yorktown. 2 Seventeenth International Seapower Symposium As a Flag Officer, he commanded Cruiser-Destroyer Group Two and the George Washington Battle Group. His last command at sea was as Commander, U.S. Sec- ond Fleet/Commander, NATO Striking Fleet Atlantic. Ashore he has served in leadership positions: • At our Naval Academy • In our Bureau of Naval Personnel • In the Office of the Secretary of Defense • On the Navy Staff as Director of Surface Warfare • As the N8—the Deputy for Resources, Requirements, and Assessments, and • As the 32nd Vice Chief of Naval Operations. Admiral Mullen’s most recent operational assignment was Commander, Joint Force Command Naples/Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe, Where he had operational responsibility for NATO missions in the Balkans, Iraq, and the Mediterranean. We know him not only as an accomplished naval officer, but also as a sincere and generous man, a friend and a mentor. The first time I met Admiral Mullen—he won’t remember this, but I do—was right here in Newport. I was en route to my commander command and a young Captain Mullen was en route to take command of the cruiser Yorktown, and the schedule
